I worked with Mike to have some Christmas lights installed on our roof and around some tree trunks. Mike was stellar in his communication and his level of service is second to none. A very personable guy and more importantly, very detail oriented which is hard to come by these days. He truly treats the project as if it's his own home and now we're looking into other landscaping projects that I'll know he'll do a great job on. Highly recommend Mike and his crew!

Juan came out to do a small but difficult job for me. His price was excellent compared to other companies. Even with problems with the angle of my (very old) roof he came out again to make adjustments and gave me alternatives and recommendations.

I had two short sections (~25-30 feet each) of gutter installed on my house to replace old ones. I met Ted at the house. We discussed options and decided to go with a slightly larger-sized gutter than typically used because of the large roof area which drains to a small length on the edge. The installation looks good. Just waiting for the next rain! :)

We had such a great experience with this company! They arrived on time and I couldn't believe how fast we had a our brand new roof including necessary repairs to rotting plywood and the addition of a new roof venting system. Their estimate was detailed and fairly priced and everyone we dealt with was respectful and kind. We asked for some extra repairs to our very old soffets and they went out of their way to track down the right vents and install them for us. I would definitely recommend them. This is a hardworking team and you will get great results!

Dustin is an excellent communicator able to explain the nuances of roofs to anyone. He was able to install our new roof within a week, and followed up to make sure all the work was done properly! He also helped us understand our financing options and some of the work we’d need to do on the house (built 1968) in the long term.

Great service and professionalism. Geronimo provided an exelent service explaining in detail the roof installation process. He patched the roof to prevent any water damaged before replacing the old roof. My new roof was completed in time and it looks great. I highly recommended My friend's roofing company.

I had a water spot on the ceiling in my bathroom and Kas Contracting came out to repair this leak and look at other areas on the roof for potential leaks. John was on time, professional in demeanor and appearance. He did just what he said he would do. It has rained since the repair and we have no signs of water spots in the ceiling. It took a little over an hour to complete the job. He offered some feedback on my roof and suggestions for the future, but did so in a professional manner without pressure. I had a great experience and will utilize Kas in the future for my roofing needs.

Eduardo is a very professional worker! He came out to my home to take a good look at the walls and roof i wanted to work on and immediately started working on it as soon as we made a deal. Took him less than the time i was expecting the work to be done. Very very clean work and overall very well done. Im extremely satisfied with his service! He not only knows how to get the work done but can bring out alot of ideas to make everything look better. I will definitely hire him again.

Protech's pricing is very reasonable. I had them replace a fiberglass roof with a metal roof. They completed the job quickly and the quality of their workmanship is great. I will keep them in mind for future roofing needs.

First of all f harvey. Second of all I’m really glad i decided to put a new roof on the house because the old one was a mess. Always better safe than sorry. Ken got me a fair deal without compromising quality. The appointment setter Sean was very friendly. Juan and company did a great job on my roof.

Mike was wonderful to work with. I called a lot of roofing companies to get someone out to my house to assess the damage done to my roof during a storm. Of all of the contractors I called, all of them except Mike either rescheduled on me multiple times, canceled, or didn't show up at all. Mike was walking my roof within 48 hours of my phone call and had a crew out to do the work a week later. He carefully walked me through the condition of my roof, the recommended repair process, and even helped me understand the complicated 40 page document my insurance company sent over. I cannot recommend Mike and Turnkey Roofing enough!

BlueStone Roofing was recommended by a friend and I want to pass that recommendation on. They were prompt, professional and got the difficult repair work done. They did a bit over and above the estimate without added charge. Before & after repairs they are easy to work with and helpful. They were also the most reasonably priced. What more can you ask? Thanks!

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

What is a standing seam metal roof?

A standing seam metal roof may be a strong, durable, safe choice when you’re considering metal roofing installation options. A standing seam refers to the raised seam where the sheet metal roofing panels join. Traditionally, shingles and roof panels lie flush to the roof, making them more prone to rust or penetration by water at their seams. In a standing seam metal roof, the raised (or standing) seams run vertically from the roof ridge to the eaves, with no horizontal seams. In addition, the fasteners joining the metal panels together are concealed, providing even fewer opportunities for water or moisture to build up. The cost to install a standing seam metal roof will depend on the type of metal you select, the size of your roof, and the cost of roofing labor in your region. Materials will play a major role in your metal roofing installation costs. If you select standard galvanized steel, the cost per square (100 square feet) might be in the $150-$300 range, while a high-end choice such as copper or zinc could be between $1,000 and $1,500 per square. Here is one example of cost:

Standing seam metal roof: $300 per square to start, including materials and labor.

A 30-square roof could cost $9,000 or more.

Can a metal roof be installed over shingles?

Metal roofs are durable, environmentally friendly, safe and budget-friendly. If you’re considering an update, metal roofing installation doesn’t have to mean completely removing your old roof. In many cases, metal roofing can be installed over your existing shingles. Research building codes in your state, as many require that after two roofs have been installed, all roofing materials must be completely removed before a third roof can be put on. This protects your home’s structural integrity and your family’s safety. Carefully read contractor reviews and choose someone with extensive experience with metal roofing installation. One concern when installing metal over shingles is that over time, condensation can build on the shingles and cause the metal to rust. This will lead to rust around the panels, making them more likely to come loose in a storm. Nationally, the average cost for metal roofing installation ranges from $6,000 to $20,000. The wide price range represents different roof sizes, different types of metal, and the cost of labor in different parts of the country — and can also include the cost of removing an old shingle roof prior to installing the metal. As a line item, the average cost of removing an old roof to prepare for installing a new roof, plus adding new roof decking, costs on average about $45-$75 per square (the pro roofer’s term for 100 square feet), depending on the pitch of the roof. Always make sure you have a clearly written contract and a warranty on both the labor and the metal.

How much does it cost for a metal roof?

Nationally, the average cost for metal roofing installation ranges from $6,000 to $20,000.There are different types of metal roofs, each with their own installation needs and materials costs.

Here are some examples of the average cost for a metal roof:

Standard metal roof: $120-$150 per square to start, including materials and labor
